Don't forget to upgrade your stock feed line. I believe Summit makes an adapter so you can still use your stock rails. If you run a -8 feed line this adapter should work. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/fra-491987-bl/overview/ Good luck.
Cool thanks for the link, I was hoping I wouldn't have to upgrade my feed line. That means if I need a bigger feed line I'll have to drop the tank anyways instead of just trying these 342 pumps.
04sleeper, what's your thoughts?

I would give it a shot with the factory feed line like you have now. You could always add it later if you decide. If you end up dropping the tank to upgrade the pumps, then maybe do it then. But I think you will be fine with it.
You are going to purchase some ID injectors but you wont spend a few hundred more and do pumps and feed line? Your current set up might be enough but then again it might not, why even chance it? You mentioned in the past you might want to do a 2.6 upper or 3.0 upper/4# lower. Just upgrade now and go to the dyno once knowing you have enough fuel and knowing you can spin that thing to 21 psi with no worries at all. Its only a few hundred more and you have already dropped the tank once so you know you can handle it.
Your regulator/rails/controller will all work fine. Call up Jason or 04sleeper and buy some pumps/new feed and run the adapter I posted above.

Or you could do this ^^^^ 
I agree besides, two 255 gss pumps are good for 700rwhp or so on gas, so its a stretch for sure to make the same power on e85.
Very true I suppose. When I make the switch I'll upgrade fuel line and pumps as well. Then I'll know for sure my fuel system is complete for the most part.
Bdubbs where you getting your car tuned? im planning on doing an e-85 setup soon.
I go to APS, but Casey Wittmer is the tuner. I heard Andy at dynotune usa does amazing work to. Hes out of Watertown, SD so more local to you.
Yeah I've done all my tuning there haven't had a problem, was just wondering if you were possibly going there too
You don't need to necessarily remove the stock fuel line but it won't be used any more. I'd leave it but put rubber caps on both ends just to keep crap out of it. And yes you'll be getting rid of the stock filter and will need a new one to put in line of the 8an feed line. Just make sure it's a filter suitable for e85.
Cool thanks! I'll be getting the Fore filter kit with stainless steel filter. I'm assuming this gets mounted along the frame rail?
Here's my future upgrade list, that will be added to my fore level 1 return fuel system. Thoughts?
- ID1000 injectors
- AEM 50-1200 320-E fuel pumps (2)
I was told these don't run hot like the 465's, so hoping I can retain my fc2 controller and run the 320's full time.
- PTFE -8 stainless steel hose 15 ft. Is that enough?
- F10 inline fuel filter, bracket, stainless steel filter.
- PTFE hose end straight -8 AN.
- PTFE hose end with o ring -8 AN.
That last two fittings are hopefully what I'd need to attach feed line to the fuel hat?
And here's a link to a adapter fitting that should work to attach feed line to the stock fuel rails?

As for boost on E85? I'm still undecided. I'm tossing around just a 2.8 upper or 3.00/2lb lower, or 3.00/4lb lower.

Might as well do the 3.0/4lb lower combo.
That's what I'm leaning towards. And after talking with TRBO VNM, it might be best just to do the Fore level 1 to level 2 upgrade. What idler setup and size belt are you running with 3.0/4lb setup?

I have the full Metco idler setup. I also have a 3.5 alt pulley.
Ok I have the metco but stock alt pulley. I just hate trying to find the right belt with different pulley setups!
I never updated this thread. I ended up with id1000 injectors and still had enough fuel with gss342 pumps on e85 and 19 psi.
Come spring I'll be installing aem 320e pumps. I wonder if I can still run the stock feed line with the 2.6 pulley?
Otherwise I may upgrade feed line and do dead head setup while the tank is down.
